Binding Phase Begins for Petrobras Refineries in the State-Owned Company’s Divestment Plans

Petrobras, following the announcement made on August 30, 2019, informs the start of the binding phase regarding the first stage of asset sales in refining and associated logistics in the country, which includes the Abreu e Lima Refinery (RNEST) in Pernambuco, Landulpho Alves Refinery (RLAM) in Bahia, Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (REPAR) in Paraná, and Alberto Pasqualini Refinery (REFAP) in Rio Grande do Sul along with their corresponding logistics assets.

Potential buyers classified for this phase will receive an invitation letter with detailed instructions regarding the divestment process, including guidelines for conducting due diligence and submitting binding proposals.

This market disclosure is in accordance with Petrobras’ divestment guidelines and the special divestment regime for assets by federal mixed-economy companies, as outlined in Decree 9.188/2017.

This operation aligns with the optimization of the portfolio and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation, aimed at generating value for our shareholders.
